* So
they
say nothing can compare to
the delicacies that claim
our sky. High above,
far beyond our air, lights
break the darkness.
I
must
admit to their magnificence; truly
breathtaking. Is it such
a coincidence, that
your presence has similar
effects on me?
I
watch
their genuine glow, and wish you
were there beside me; to
share in this wonder.
To gain the experience
of true sublimity.
I
know
that if you were really there with
me, my gaze would fall.
No longer focusing
on the sky, but instead
upon your all.
And
because
these moments don't last forever-
I know I could watch these
stars whenever. But it
wouldn't be us, together-
I would take it all in.
An
amazing
experience it is; the feeling of being
close, to the one thing I've
found that surpasses
the stars I've seen, in both
amazement and in beauty

My attempt to match the structure with the context. The wording was a little tricky because I had it written before I decided to shape it and then, when in the process of shaping, I needed to make a few adjustments.
